Each year, scientists with the Office of Science, at our national laboratories, and supported by the Office of Science at the nation’s colleges and universities, publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in the Office of Science as publication highlights of special note.
Scientists find strong evidence for the long-predicted Breit-Wheeler effect—generating matter and antimatter from collisions of real photons.
A few common bacteria use most of the carbon in soil
Nuclear theorists demonstrate a new method for computing the strengths of subatomic interactions that include up to three particles.
Chromium defects in silicon carbide may provide a new platform for quantum information
First observation of embedded magnetic islands paves way for improved fusion reactor designs.
Ecological assembly and source tracking models characterize the initial assembly of the poplar microbiome across plant-associated habitats.
Researchers improve their scientific understanding of heterogeneous catalysis by imaging the gas just above the surface of the catalyst.
Identification of an enzyme that microbes deploy in the presence of plants leads to discovery of candidate genes involved in root colonization.
Electromagnetic waves are used to internally identify turbulent magnetic fluctuations in 100-million-degree fusion plasmas.
The new “rodeo algorithm” approach for preparing energy states of complex systems on a quantum computer is exponentially faster than other algorithms.
